CaMKIIβ Signaling drives expression of metabolic and stress response genes in skeletal muscle, and its loss contributes to the LGMDR1 phenotype
Abstract Calcium calmodulin kinase II (CaMKII) signaling is activated by muscle use and drives gene expression that promotes slow oxidative muscle phenotype. Previously, we showed that the calpain 3 knockout (C3KO) mouse model of limb girdle muscular dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1) exhibits impaired slow-oxidative gene expressio...
